Long Phu Power Centre

The Long Phu Power Centre in the Long Phu District is a proposed center for three coal-fired power stations generating a total of 4,400 megawatts. The first of the three power stations is the Long Phu 1 Thermal Power Plant, a proposed "high efficiency" 1,200 megawatt (MW) coal-fired power station which has been proposed by Hanoi-based PetroVietnam Technical Services Corporation (PTSC), a subsidiary of energy provider PetroVietnam Group. The plant’s two units are planned to use supercritical boiler technology and scrubbers. The plant is slated to be completed by 2014, at a cost between US$1.2 and US$1.4 billion. Global engineering firm Black & Veatch won a contract to design and manage construction of the facility.
